Life Church Southampton

As part of the first of three "Seminar Sundays" at the central site, Si speaks on the way Jesus addressed others and how that impacted them. What application is there for us in church today in meeting and welcoming others, as we learn from Jesus's example.

In his letter, the Apostle Peter addresses his readers using two words - elect and exiles. This reminds us that we are chosen by God, and that we are not yet home - for we are citizens of heaven and He is bringing us home. Although our identity has been radically changed it takes courage and humility to discover the true freedom that accompanies our new identities.

James and Esther speak on Jacob and his encounter with God through the man with whom he wrestled. We find that as we wrestle with God over many things in our lives and spiritual walk, he wants to bless us as we partner with him.

The story of the good Samaritan is a picture of mercy. He is the God of mercy to all who are in need. God has called us to a purpose in this city; to bring His light and mercy to others.

Jesus came to set the captives free. Matt speaks on how He enables us to live and act in the freedom and identity bought for us at the cross.

Pete and Esther speak on how we can sometimes come to God with wrongly prescribed ideas, putting limitations on who he is and what he can do. We explore how we can in fact have great faith in the God of the Miraculous..

The sermon on the mount is a picture of the flourishing Christian life. From small beginnings, the Kingdom of God extends into every part of our lives, no matter who we are with or what we are doing.

Pete leads us through a time of prayer. Pete explains about four main areas for the whole church to pray into. These four areas are: people, a building, our work amongst those most in need and our faithful giving.

In Haggai's day, people were more focused on their own lives than on their worship of God. Chris draws three parallels for Life Church today and addresses our need for anointed leadership, investment in a building, and continuing on mission.

John speaks on God the creator of all things who has now revealed the mystery of Christ and how his grace is being outworked through the bride of Christ, the church.

What happens when we die? - In this final chapter of Paul's Letter, we get an incredible glimpse of the future for those who belong to Jesus.

On Fathers Day we celebrate all those who have a fathering role in our lives, the greatest of whom is our perfect loving Father in Heaven.

Everyone is looking for love, and we would want to be known as a people of love. The kind of love described in this passage is only possible by God's Spirit working in and through us. Success for the church is to become a people who love others.

’Chris continues on last week's exploration of Paul's addressing to the church in Corinth regarding traditions as we now turn to Paul's teaching on “Gifts of the Spirit”.’

’Looking at Paul's addressing of the church in Corinth, Dave speaks on the approach to traditions in terms of prayer, prophesy, worship, communion, and what this means for us today.’

’Pete speaks on how we've been set free from sin, through the cross, to walk in thankfulness and freedom.’

King David was a great leader, and a great worshipper. His worship was so wholehearted because he had a revelation of God's holiness and God's grace. It is by Grace alone that we can approach God in His holiness.

’John and Lois share some of their testimony as they speak on being led by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit for our lives.’

Matt encourages everyone to be intentional and, like Jesus, only do what they see the Father doing.

’What does Biblical leadership look like? Chris speaks on this and what it means for the releasing of servant leaders into the church as we endeavour to "reap the harvest" and win souls to Jesus.’
